Chapter 829: Chapter 829: Magic Duel (Continued)

“Immortal Master, please save our Mo Family, save Young Master Mo Han!”

White Deer Academy, within the hall, an elderly man with white hair pleaded with Wang Chen, “He has been wronged!”

His face was filled with urgent fear, and his ragged clothes made him look as if he had just escaped from peril.

“Manager Mo, don’t panic.”

Wang Chen said in a deep voice, “Take your time and explain the situation.”

The old man who had suddenly arrived to seek help was the Mo Family’s manager.

Wang Chen had seen him a few times before, so he recognized him.

But the manager he remembered wasn’t in such a wretched and miserable state as now, he almost didn’t recognize him.

Through this old manager’s narration, Wang Chen learned that a major incident had occurred in the Mo Family.

The first to be affected was Mo Han.

This Green Cloud Alliance cultivator, Governor of Taiwu Pavilion, was suddenly arrested this morning by Green Cloud Palace on charges of dereliction of duty and corruption, and he was currently being imprisoned on Green Cloud Peak.

By the time this news reached the Mo Family, the Taiwu City Guards had already completely surrounded the entire Mo Family.

No one was allowed to enter or leave!

Seeing the dire situation, Old Master Mo immediately had the manager disguise himself and leave through a secret passage, to seek help from Wang Chen as quickly as possible.

Now, the only one they could rely on was Wang Chen alone.

After listening, Wang Chen couldn’t help feeling a surge of anger!

In fact, it wasn’t surprising that the Mo Family was in trouble; this family had been tied to Wang Chen for a long time because of Mo Han.

The original Mercy World Hall was a property gifted to Wang Chen by the Mo Family.

Later, the establishment of White Deer Academy and Mercy World Medicine Manor also couldn’t happen without the support of the Mo Family.

Of course, the Mo Family received rewards in return.

Currently, in White Deer Academy, there were hundreds of Mo Family descendants, including more than a dozen direct family members, all of whom were receiving focused cultivation training.

This was undoubtedly the fundamental reason why the Mo Family attracted such calamity.

Green Cloud Palace and some noble clans within Taiwu City had long regarded White Deer Academy and Mercy World Medicine Manor as thorns in their sides.

The Mo Family was clearly suffering from collateral damage!

“Principal!”

At this moment, a martial master guard hurriedly arrived at the front hall, presenting a letter to Wang Chen.

A letter from Green Cloud Palace!

Wang Chen opened it without changing his expression and carefully read the contents.

After finishing, he sneered quietly.

Green Cloud Palace’s speed was indeed swift; right after taking Mo Han and surrounding the Mo Family, they demanded his presence at Green Cloud Peak for interrogation.

The reason was suspicion of Wang Chen’s involvement in the disappearance of Mage Jiyun.

And if Wang Chen didn’t appear at Green Cloud Palace within three days, all consequences were his to bear!

Wang Chen knew very well that Mo Han and the Mo Family would be the first to suffer.

If he obediently went to Green Cloud Peak, into Green Cloud Palace…

That would absolutely mean his brain was kicked by a donkey!

Elder Yao had once told Wang Chen, Green Cloud Palace housed numerous formidable figures, hundreds of transcendent Entry Tao cultivators, and was heavily fortified with intricate mechanisms and formations. Even Elder Yao himself dared not trespass in his prime.

Although Wang Chen had reached the peak level of Entry Tao, he had no confidence of coming out of Green Cloud Palace unscathed, let alone walking willingly into a trap.

That was the enemy’s home field!

But he couldn’t leave Mo Han unaided.

This cultivator was Wang Chen’s only friend in Taiwu City.

“Immortal Master.”

Manager Mo on the side said, “When I left, Old Master specifically instructed that if things don’t go well, to please help send Mo Family disciples to other cities for safety, the Mo Family would be immensely grateful!”

Saying so, he was about to kneel and kowtow to Wang Chen.

Wang Chen reached out to hold him up, with a solemn expression he said, “Things haven’t come to that yet, I will definitely find a way to rescue your young master.”

“What you need to do now is to help me gather some information.”

Since Green Cloud Palace was playing dirty, Wang Chen didn’t mind paying them back in their own coin!

…

As night fell, Celebrating Spring Tower.

The nine-storied Celebrating Spring Tower was the largest and most luxurious restaurant in Taiwu City; ordinary families didn’t even have the privilege to step inside, as it usually hosted the city’s elite and members of noble clans.

Tonight, like usual, the eighth floor of Celebrating Spring Tower was booked.

Over a dozen young men were reveling with concubines, their intoxicated eyes and the warm, fragrant, and tender atmosphere filled the room with a decadent air.

Outside the private room, stood two Innate Martial Artists with a suppressed aura!

The host of tonight’s feast was none other than the notorious young master from the Sikong Family–Sikong Hongfei.

Sikong Hongfei was a true third-generation cultivator–his grandfather, Sikong Changming, was an Elder of the Green Cloud Palace and a great Transcendent Cultivator of the Entry Tao Realm.

Although his father was somewhat lesser, he too was a Transcendent Cultivator and the Governor of the Taiwu Pavilion!

The Sikong Family was also one of the most powerful families in Taiwu City.

With such a background, Sikong Hongfei, despite his lack of exceptional talent, still behaved recklessly in Taiwu City.

He disliked cultivation and preferred to spend his days in revelry and pleasure-seeking with friends.

His reputation as a wastrel was well-known.

“Come, come, everyone have another drink.”

At the height of the merriment, Sikong Hongfei raised his golden goblet and smiled, “Tonight, we will not return until we’re drunk!”

“To that!”

Everyone chimed in unison, raising their cups and pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

“Awesome!”

Sikong Hongfei drank it all in one gulp, feeling utterly contented and delighted–what greater joy could life offer?

At that moment, Sikong Hongfei’s vision blurred as a figure suddenly appeared, blocking his view.

“Get lost!”

Sikong Hongfei impatiently waved his hand and shouted, “Don’t block your grandpa’s view…”

Before he could finish speaking, a powerful hand gripped his throat and lifted him up.

Sikong Hongfei suddenly found himself unable to speak, his face turning crimson within moments.

Struggling, he heard the other person say, “Are you Sikong Hongfei? I’ve heard much about you.”

Sikong Hongfei, nearly suffocating, was unable to respond.

Thankfully, he was put back in his seat the next moment.

“Damn your mother!”

Sikong Hongfei, having never suffered such humiliation, exploded in anger, “Come, seize him!”

He had to call out three times before he realized something was wrong.

The previously lively private room was now dead silent, with only Sikong Hongfei still shouting.

Everyone else present had already fainted to the ground.

Even the two Innate Martial Artists standing outside gave no reaction.

Sikong Hongfei’s drunkenness sobered up considerably.

He swallowed nervously, put away his arrogant demeanor, and cautiously asked, “Sir, may I know what you want? Anything you wish for, just say the word!”

The other person chuckled and said, “It seems you don’t recognize me, so let me introduce myself.”

“My name is Wang Chen, the head of White Deer Academy and the owner of Mercy World Medicine Manor.”

Wang Chen!

Hearing this name, Sikong Hongfei’s heart sank.

This was big trouble.
